do you offer access to Netflix in your listing? If so do you use your own account? Pay for another account? Make them sign in with THEIR account? I have a Netflix account myself and a ROKU I can hook up -- I just today got my first inquiry about Netflix in the unit. I'm wondering how others do it.
I have an additional device account, one for guests. If a guest doesn't have their own account, they can request me to set up access to ours as a guest viewer. Although after 2 years and many bookings, I have had only 2 requests for me to set them up. Most have their own account these days.
We have a guest account for Netflix and Hulu and an old iPhone with nothing else on it signed in for guests to cast to the tv, via google chrome-cast. Old fashioned but does the job at low cost. (We have no tv service.)
Hi Emilia, I'll just be starting to offer Netflix for my guest this coming month and thinking of the same set-up as yours (guest will have access to my account, but with a different user profile). I'd like to ask if you had any instances where your guests have messed with the other profiles on your Netflix account. If yes, what did you do? Or if not, what have you done to prevent this.
@Jose-Feliciano0, just this week I noticed the Grinch was watched on my specific Netflix profile and there were two young children staying in one of my Airbnbs at that time. It doesn't bother me and doesn't happen often. No one has ever messed with my settings or anything like that. I would say it is more frustrating when they log out of my account and into their own. I have to check every time I am turning over the space for a new guest that Netflix is correctly logged into the right account. I would never give my password to a guest so if they get logged out it would require me going over to the apartment to log them back in (luckily, no one has asked me to do that.)
Hi Jose, So I'm a little behind on this thread & I've been looking into all this stuff with Netflix & if you offer up your own account could the guest potentially mess with the other accounts on it. Anyway, their is a way you can lock your other profiles so they would only have access to the one you want them to have..
I have a "guest profile" for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon but it is still my account. The account requires a password to be modified in any way, including ordering movies that are not included in the subscription so there's no way guests could change or charge anything.
The only issue I had once was someone signed in on their own account, then messaged me claiming that someone was watching stuff on their account after they checked out. We didn't have any guests during the time they claimed this was happening and we had logged them out anyways, so I think they had left their account logged in elsewhere.
@Kelly1126 I have the Netflix account that allows for streaming on 4 devices at once. I just leave the account signed in. Same with Amazon: I'm actually not sure how many people can log in at once, but there has never been a conflict, maybe because Amazon Prime is pretty poor in Canada and there isn't much to watch. Some people choose to use their own account, but I do provide mine also so they can use it if they want.
We have Smart TVs and/or Roku's so that guests can access their own accounts. We remind them to sign out when they leave. We've also been using YouTubeTV instead of cable TV in some properties. So far, so good. The savings are great. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Our teams have been working closely with Netflix where we have discovered a bug upon launch of the app that requires the background memory to be cleared. We know through the examples you have shared with us through our secure form workarounds such as:
We're still interested in tracking how many of our customers are having this problem so we have kept our secure form open, if you wish to register your examples please find our form here -
To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)
note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.
Netflix app not working on Sky Q box. One day it loads, the next day it doesn't. Now it seems to be completely defunct. I've tried Sky box on/off, updating Sky box, 0,0,1 on settings and apps refresh, everything that has been prescribed as a fix. Now assuming that there is either an inherent issue with Netflix app on Sky Q experienced by many, or my Sky Q box is malfunctioning. Has anyone else managed a permanent fix? If I paid for Netflix subscription through Sky would this magically fix the issue? Just being sceptical thanks in advance.
Hi @Robin34 Try rebooting your router by removing the power cable for 30 sec then reconnect to reboot, then reboot your main SKYQ box by turning the power off at the socket for 30 sec then turn back on to reboot?
I have no problem accessing it on any other machine, but for well over six months now it is a lottery whether the Netflix app will load at all via the sky box. It just buffers endlessly and never loads, or sometimes it will take ten + minutes to load. Oftentimes we just give up.
This is not an issue with the internet. It is not an issue with Netflix. It is an issue solely happening through the sky box and never resolves when taking any of the advice this forum suggests.
Hi @Vimes123 Try rebooting your router by removing the power cable for 30 sec then reconnect to reboot, then reboot your main SKYQ box by turning the power off at the socket for 30 sec then turn back on to reboot?
Thanks @Quoman7. The Netflix app has been working on SkyQ the past few weeks, but again decided to stop loading yesterday and today. So I took your advice and turned off router and sky box and reloaded it all. Worked a treat! If it requires this level of rebooting every couple of weeks I can live with it. But if it starts playing up frequently like it did before, sad times. For now, your advice has worked so thank you. Kind regards.
Change your Netflix plan when you activate your Netflix subscription or any time on mydish.com. If you link a Netflix account to your DISH package, canceling your DISH package or switching between package options will not automatically cancel your Netflix membership, and Netflix will continue charging your existing payment method.

With the help of a virtual private network, you can watch all the Netflix content you want, from wherever you are in the world. Using Netflix with a VPN can make it look like you're at home even when you're traveling overseas. Here's how to do it, with one caveat.
Though Netflix does make certain efforts to block VPN use on its platform, the streaming provider doesn't appear to be aggressively blocking limited VPN use. Regardless, you should always consider Netflix's terms of use, because terms can change at any time and the company can terminate your account if it detects abuse. We don't encourage people to violate their user agreements.
This works because, when you connect to a VPN server, your IP address changes to the address of the VPN server you're connecting through. Your real IP address and physical location are hidden from Netflix in the process. Netflix, for all intents and purposes, will therefore register your location as the location of the VPN server you're connecting through and will deliver the content it makes available in that country.
We can't guarantee that it will work for you 100% of the time, though, because Netflix does its best to block known VPN IP addresses and uses other methods to preclude its customers from using VPNs to unblock geographically restricted content on its site. But most mainstream VPNs -- especially our top picks -- are usually reliably capable of providing access to Netflix.
